nice 18 miles FRiday at Bowland, cracking 8 miles yesterday there, the weather was wonderful, as soon as i got to the top of saddle fell, i could see south lakes range, ingle and pyg, what a great day and reminder of why i love this hobby
6 hour amble from ings up around kentmere then dropped in at wilfs then a steady trot back t watermill
After another 3 weeks of shin splints, i did an hour this morning around Heaton Park, be warned the carparks have stroppy mares charging a £1 to park, so if you got the car with you, park near Heaton Park Metrolink, its free!
Jogged, Walked, Laughed, yep at myself mainly...
My new shoes are now full of mud, and my feet are burning (wrong type of socks)
Enjoyed the fresh air, lovely place is Heaton Park, shame it has to be spoilt by a funfair...
You must have bumped in to the only snotty park attendant in the park. The ones I pay each time I go are lovely people. We have been there for the last few hours and the place is packed out. Infact the car park was closed when we left due to numbers. Great to see I can park in a lovely park in Greater manchester for just a £1.Quote:

Last longish run before Moelwyn 3p's....
Yep i must have got the stroppy one, if she had been alittle nicer i would not have had a problem paying £1 to park there.Quote:

Glad you had a fun day! x
5 mile today to ease the legs after the waltz.:)
9 miles on the Rossy fells and then an extra mile when i got to the top of my street.
2 asians decided they wanted to use me as a punchbag, it's amazing how fast you can run when your Knackered and your life depends on it:D
so you still must be carrying at least a few bags of sugar round the middle or is that just an ole tyre as normal :pQuote:

Ive never worn just a vest before but i decided it was too humid to wear my helly so i gave Emmi the delight of seeing my auschwitz-arms and giving my ponies vest a run out.:D
On the bike home from Emmis, going though Avenham Park a group of not very hard looking lads and girls passed me and one right skinny runt shouted some abuse at me, why i do not know but i had a massive urge to turn round and go and re-arrange his face.
I am not one to go fight, especially when the odds are ten to one.... so i carried on and just let the images of battering the cocky shite stay in my head....bastard!
Good grief - Well done Ian some distance and ascent covered.Quote:

I have a theory if i lose more weight my ankles and shins might get better, just abit weak. I have lost 15lb upto now, which isn't so bad!
A swift 10 miler, ran up all the climbs i normally walk up, they seem molehills compared to what i've been up since saturday, sure i'll be walking up them again soon:rolleyes:
Roll on Saturday and the Coledale Horseshoe:cool:
Binn Green - Alderman - Broadstone Trig n' return, crackin run, 55 mins, cheers for the run Fleeter...
Just about got my hearing back after the 65 mph+ winds :D
Just back in from steady 4mile sort-of-recovery run on flat roads. :p
Last night - 3 x 1 mile hill reps, each ~500ft. Hard hour to do as it was chucking it down and flippin' freezing! :(
Very early doors long run on the hills tomorrow....(if I can get out of bed)
Can't make the Welsh trip tomorrow Jan, if you fancy a Chew Valley Hill fest let me know, going to be heading out early for a couple of hours, Ravenstones/Ashway/Doves Edge area...Quote:

Gargrave to Bingley on canal bank, 19 miles, flat as anything except a rather exciting descent at Five Locks, so how did I manage to fall AOT at 10 miles and have to run the rest with a big, bloody knee and grazed elbows??
6.25 mile today at a good pace around Cronton and Pex Hill. Great afternoon for running.
2:15:22hr. Greenfield - Pots n' Pans - Alderman - Ashway Rocks - descent - Doves Edge (direct Ascent) - Fox Stone - res - Wimberry - Alphin - home!
Approx 1900ft of ascent.
Great mornings run, managed to get out before the crowds arrived in the valley.
Beautiful out there :)
